I invite you to consider the possibility that, although individually we are powerless -- collectively and in an emergent fashion, we very much do create the reality of the world we live in (as concerns human and social constructs at least).
So if enough people are resigned to the idea that fascism (or its brother in terms of international relations -- the idea that the world is intrinsically amoral, and no one is ever really held to account for anything) is "just the way the world works" -- sooner or later, that's the system they'll be living under.
And in fact, this is one of the core mechanisms by which such oppressive systems take hold and gains their legs.
In more succinct terms (to the point of sounding trite): Another world is possible.
